Abstract

Borate has been used for various industrial products and excessive dose of boron is harmful to humans. We investigated the removal of borate by direct coprecipitation with Mg / Al layered double hydroxide. In this study, the maximum removal of boron was 90% when Mg 30 mmol and Al 15 mmol at pH = 10 were used for 498 mg/l as B. The boron adsorption isotherms could be fitted to Langmuir model. The calculated constant Ws, saturation limit of boron adsorption, is 25 ± 2 mg/g and it is larger than that of ion exchange reaction (Ws = 15±1 mg/g ).
